Kyle McDougall is a documentary photographer from Ontario, Canada, currently residing in the United Kingdom. His work is driven by a fascination with rural environments, quiet spaces, history, and time.

After graduating from film school in the early 2000s, Kyle spent the first ten years of his career working as a cinematographer and director in the television industry, as well as running a commercial video production company.

Seeking to make changes, in 2017, he and his wife sold their house, left their jobs, and took off on a year-long road trip across North America, which ultimately inspired a new creative direction in his career. His focus has now shifted towards pursuing long-term photography projects and sharing creative and educational content through his YouTube channel.

His first book, titled An American Mile, is a culmination of five years spent exploring and documenting small towns in the American Southwest.

Currently, he’s working on two projects—one documenting the Slate Landscapes of North Wales, the other focusing on the history of the Royal Air Force in WW2 and its lost airfields.
